bubble-like = bubble (transparent) = bubble + like

Direct descriptive formation: 'resembling a bubble' is the literal meaning of 'bubble' + '-like'.

Etymology

Bubble-like joins bubble and -like. Because a bubble is a round, shiny ball of air, bubble-like means 'shaped or textured like a bubble' and is used for things that look round, light, or puffy.
